Both shops will also participate in “Builder Chats” during the show.

First Look: Spies Hecker Permahyd 2K Sealer 5650

Axalta introduces Spies Hecker Permahyd 2K Sealer 5650, a single-visit application sealer that reduces application time from an industry average of 20 minutes to three to five minutes with blowers. The first waterborne sealer of its kind, 5650 is part of the super-productive Spies Hecker refinish system that is designed to help busy shops get more cars through the booth faster to meet or exceed productivity goals. Visit Axalta during the show to view an application video and see how fast a quality finish can be.
